I curse their head & all the hairs of their head; I curse their face, their brain, their mouth, their nose, their tongue, their teeth, their forehead, their shoulders, their breast, their heart, their stomach, their back, their womb, their arms, their legs, their hands, their feet & all their body, from the top of their head to the soles of their feet, before and behind, within and without

Downloaded the short story ... Homecoming. Good little read that. Not extraordinary, but entertaining none the least. Great first dig though. It would transfer well into animation or to a short half hour film in a tales from the crypt styled format.

Looks like I'll have to splash out on the other one now.

The moving finger writes and having writ moves on ... now all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel even half a line ... nor all thy tears wash out a single word of it.

Love this chapter...

"Down the street the green leaves of the giant elms fanned out towards heaven, glowing in the setting sun. Magpies and currawongs sang in the gums with a chorus of cicadas. Children played in the distance. Dogs barked and someone jumped in a pool. These were the final moments of the summer holidays and the kids of the neighbourhood were squeezing in one more game, one more swim. They'd do anything to fight the sunset, because if it didnt happen, you would never have to go back to school"
